Projects in this course

In this project, you will apply supervised machine learning techniques to predict customer churn for a telecom company. Using a real-world dataset, you will:

  • Preprocess the data (handling missing values, encoding categorical features)
  • Train and evaluate models like Logistic Regression, Decision Trees, and k-NN
  • Compare model performance using metrics like accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score
  • Optimize models through hyperparameter tuning
  • Visualize insights with Matplotlib & Seaborn

By completing this project, you will gain hands-on experience in classification problems, model evaluation, and real-world data handling.
